Outlook 2003 Message Header Shows Up In Email Body

Don Dinnerville · External Since: Apr 17, 2006 Posts: 5

I regularly get messages that end up showing part of the message header at
the top of the email message. It's pretty obnoxious. Any thoughts?

Does the encoding type show user defined?

I think this is what you're referring to:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

If it would help, I can send you a copy of a sample message. Also, FYI,
I've asked other recipients of these emails, and they aren't experiencing the
same issue, so I would think that means that Outlook is doing something to
the message(s).

I would be looking for the charset setting in content-type. (e.g. below)

Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="x-user-defined"

If you decide you want to send me something, it is neo at mvps dot org.
(save message to file system as a *.msg file type. zip *.msg and send the
zip because if you just forward or include the *.msg as an attachment,
outlook will re-encode and i won't see what you are seeing.)

I'm having the same problem. It's only on a Vista machine and not on my XP
machine. It doesn't happen with every sender but it does happen consistently
when a couple senders include me on the bcc line. That's as much diagnostic
detail as I've been able to come up with. Ideas?

Hello Don,

Did you ever get an answer to your question? I just had 3 users experience
the same issue and I haven't had any luck finding a solution. Thanks much.

Sincerely,
Rosemarie DeRonne
